You work very horde on a paper for English clash And then get a very glow raid (like a D or even a D=) and all because you are the word's liverwurst spoiler. Proofreading your peppers is a matter of the the utmost impotence. This is a problem that affects manly, manly students. I myself was such a bed spiller once upon a term that my English teacher in my sophomoric year, Mrs. Myth, said I would never get into a good colleague. And that's all I wanted, just to get into a good colleague. Not just anal community colleague, because I wouldn't be happy at anal community colleague. I needed a place that would offer me intellectual simulation, I really need to be challenged, challenged dentally. I know this makes me sound like a stereo, but I really wanted to go to an ivory legal colleague. So I needed to improvement or gone would be my dream of going to Harvard, Jail, or Prison (in Prison, New Jersey). So I got myself a spell checker and figured I was on Sleazy Street. But there are several missed aches that a spell chukker can't can't catch catch. For instant, if you accidentally leave a word your spell exchequer won't put it in you. And God for billing purposes only you should have serial problems with Tori Spelling your spell Chekhov might replace a word with one you had absolutely no detention of using. Because what do you want it to douche? It only does what you tell it to douche. You're the one with your hand on the mouth going clit, clit, clit. It just goes to show you how embargo one careless clit of the mouth can be. Which reminds me of this one time during my Junior Mint. The teacher read my entire paper on A Sale of Two Titties out loud to all of my assmates. I'm not joking, I'm totally cereal. It was the most humidifying experience of my life, being laughed at pubically. So do yourself a flavor and follow these two Pisces of advice: One: There is no prostitute for careful editing. And three: When it comes to proofreading, the red penis your friend. k spelling is not inportant. |

23 Jan 09 - 12:11 AM (#2546681) Subject: RE: BS: The the impotence of of proofreading (Mali) From: Jim Dixon I don't get it. Why would you want "trail" to be flagged as a misspelling? |

23 Jan 09 - 01:47 AM (#2546704) Subject: RE: BS: The the impotence of of proofreading (Mali) From: GUEST Because the word "trial" is often trnnsposed to "trail." Not a good thing for law briefs! Lin |

23 Jan 09 - 02:28 AM (#2546716) Subject: RE: BS: The the impotence of of proofreading (Mali) From: JohnInKansas Noting that LiK cleaned her cookies and posted as guest (without chelspecking) -- to continue with the dictionary, "pubic" (public) was another of about a dozen words expunged from the WP dictionary. In Word, one just uses the Autoreplace function to automatically replace the most embarrassing typos with the word wanted. Since the "spell check as you type" executes before Autoreplace, even if the spellcheck accepts the word, Autoreplace will replace it with the correct one. This allows you to have the word in the dictionary, but have it not appear in places where you don't want it; but you can "unreplace" with a Ctl-Z if you actually do want the questionable word (spelled correctly).

24 Jan 09 - 05:34 AM (#2547684) Subject: RE: BS: The the impotence of of proofreading (Mali) From: GUEST, topsie Part of the problem is Word programs that take over without asking. I carefully typed out a document that included some Spanish, making sure I got all the accents right, and sent it off. Then I discovered that my computer had changed all the Spanish words to what IT thought were acceptable English alternatives. PS I saw on ebay a listing for a picture showing a pubic telephone box. |
